Kids’ paradise Eastern Beach Holiday Park has proudly been awarded 9th place in Victoria for families in the annual Holidays with Kids readers’ choice awards.

The holiday park is managed by leading tourism park operator Australian Tourist Park Management (ATPM) and is the perfect destination for families with children of all ages.

This sentiment is echoed by CEO Mark Manteit who said that ‘this award is reflective of our dedication to creating memorable holiday experiences for our guests and their families. Our guests always tell us how much their kids love playing on the jumping pillow, scooting around on the pedal Go-Karts, going for a swim in the solar heated pool and swinging around on the playground. This, combined with our wonderful location in Lakes Entrance, is the reason our guests come back year after year’.

ATPM and the team at Eastern Beach are overjoyed and honoured to be recognised with this award, and wish to thank all of the loyal guests and wider community who took the time to vote.

Holidays with Kids is established as the industry leader for providing insight into family travel options, and only feature holiday parks that will offer exceptional experiences and are great value for money. The category of ‘Best Holiday Park’ is for parks that excel in offering family-friendly facilities, accommodation and, most importantly, overall experience.

The list of award winners will be live for the next 12 months on their website, and the winners will also be published in the annual edition of Holidays with Kids Caravan, Camping, Holiday Parks and 4WD magazine.

Double and single kayak hire is now available from the park just in time for the Summer Holidays!

This we feel is the best way to experience the magnificent waterways that surround the park. Kayak hires are available during the school holidays from reception at Eastern Beach Holiday Park, with two hour, half day or full day packages available.

Eastern Beach Holiday Park, a four-star property on Eastern Beach Road at Lakes Entrance, is the pick of the accommodation providers. Operated by award winning company Australian Tourist Park Management (ATPM) under a lease agreement with East Gippsland Shire Council.

Park facilities include a resort-style swimming pool, fully equipped laundry and refurbished amenities. Accommodation includes self-contained waterfront two-bedroom villas with balcony and barbecue. For caravans and campers there are large shaded powered and unpowered sites.

For the children, there is a large playground, jumping pillow, games room and free onsite activities during school holidays. With villas and powered sites overlooking Cunninghame Arm, families can enjoy the amazing waterfront location, catch a fish or feed the friendly pelicans.

Eastern Beach Holiday Park at Lakes Entrance has won the accommodation category of the 2014 East Gippsland Business Awards.

Park managers Tegan Vanderslik and Tessa Mooney said the awards were announced last Friday night and celebrate local businesses that achieved excellence in their category and strengthened the local community.

“We are over the moon to be recognised for our business achievements,” said Ms Mooney.

Ms Mooney said the park used a number of measures to ensure customer service is always met and monitored.

“We are mystery-shopped quarterly and a guest relations officer ensures all feedback on sites such as TripAdvisor, Facebook and Google is responded to in a timely manner. Staff undergo regular customer service training, both onsite and via webinar.”

“We strive to give our guests the best experience possible while staying with us and of course that overflows into the community. We love working with other local tourism operators, attractions and eateries to bring more visitors to the region.”

“We are just delighted that our service and product has been deemed the best in the area. The whole team at the park is thrilled!”

The park is part of award-winning group Escape2 Holiday Parks, which includes 11 parks across five states.
